Dinosaur Valley State Park and Fossil Rim







Loved loved loved this park and can't wait to camp here! This park is in Glen Rose, which is southwest of Ft. Worth. We went up for a day trip and used a free LaQuinta night because it was February and had just iced/snowed the weekend before, so a little too cold for camping with kids in Target sleeping bags. We explored all of the dinosaur footprint sites and played next to the river for a long time. We skipped stones, played in the sand next to the river, hunted for special rocks, and dared each other to walk across the river barefoot. There was still patches of light snow and ice by the rivers edge in shaded spots! We went on a hike through the grassland area. Such a fun day!
The next day was Fossil Rim wildlife park. This is a drive through zoo that allows you to feed the animals from your car window. Loved all the antelope, even though their antlers scratched the side of the Accord. We all rolled up the windows and hid from the scary ostriches. We were so excited to feed the giraffe's and the zebras just wouldn't take no for an answer. The Barbery Sheep even formed a road block to get food. Just a super fun trip that we would love to take again.
